We finished our bedroom - wanna see?

[SuiteDisney]

Before...

Here is part of a closet we didn't know was there because there was an artificial fireplace built over it. You can see a mark on the ceiling where the top of the fireplace was.

Since the former owner covered the closet, he had to build a closet in another corner. We ripped out this closet and rebuilt the original closet.

Our dresser was in two pieces put together and was taller than me. We separated the two pieces. Before we started the walls were a light tan, with white sponge painted on top.
______________________________

And after some deconstruction, some construction, and a lot of paintint we have...

A new and bigger closet.

Much more room (not to mention brighter!)

I used the same material to cover the top of the small part of the dresser, under the window and to cover this cushion on top of our cedar chest. I hemmed the curtains and made pillows out of the extra material.

You can't tell from these pictures, but Gene put a gold cord all along the top where the walls meet the ceiling. It matches the frames perfectly on either side of the bed where we have the kids' pix.

I know it's too bold for some, but I love it!

I'm not too good at filling up closets, but....
I want to put a bookcase next to the cedar chest and I can fill that up fast!

I love those colors! They're very soothing. That's the kind of room I like to nap in....

Well then, I must be doing something wrong. I surf the DIS all the time and I don't make a dime for it.

The room looks amazing. You have some wonderful gifts.

Thanks, everyone. Like I posted when we started this two weeks ago: It's all Trading Spaces' fault! I'm addicted to that show and it gave me a lot of ideas.

Laura,
I'm not good at closets either... LOL Bookcases are good. I'm not good at those either though.

Trading Spaces has me wanting to do something to mine too!
